Friday flowers, and feeling grateful

Is it Friday already? Thank goodness for that. It's been a busy, stressful week and I feel as though I've been running on a treadmill from the moment we got home from our dreamy holiday {always going, going, but never really getting anywhere}. Anyway, I made it through the madness and am ready for a few days off to enjoy some sunshine and fun. It's a long weekend here in Canada {yay for BC Day!}, and I have plenty of fun plans to keep me happy and help shake off the stresses of the week. I can't wait to spend Saturday afternoon and evening with my mom and sister, having a picnic supper and watching the fireworks at Butchart Gardens, and I'm also looking forward to a Sunday morning hike up Mill Hill with my three boys {I hear the view of the city from up there is amazing}. Other things that are making me feel happy/grateful this Friday:

* Dylan's lip stitched up nicely- after a bloody fall involving his face and the footboard of Sawyer's bed last night- and he's quite pleased with his battle scars. He was so brave in the clinic, and I was so proud of him. The doctor said he was the very best patient he'd had all day! It called for extra ice cream, let me tell you.

* weather nice enough for playing in the sprinkler

* my museum membership card- worth every single penny

* re-reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and loving it even more this time around

* stacks of mail this week! thank you, lovely friends!

* sunflowers in our garden, great big ones

* freshly sliced pineapple... yum!

* my comfy bed {much as I miss Sorrento, I do not miss that lumpy bed in our cabana!}

This week I'm really glad I got some time at the beach and with a friend. I'm also looking forward to one week away when I'll be at another beach. :) After a summer full of class I'm definitely ready for some water fun!

Welcome to Pughs' News...

The day-to-day goings-on of a Canadian girl, her English husband, and their two adorable {albeit grubby} little boys. This blog is a little bit about me, a little bit about my friends and other things that make me happy {books, letters, tea, London, France, New York...} and a lot about our family and the busy life we lead. There are also random bits and pieces of other stuff, and a genuine attempt to find the beautiful things in life every day, even when it's proving to be a bit tricky.

I hope you enjoy it. And I hope you'll leave a comment once in a while to let me know!
